Artist Statement

Street Series.

In the Street Series I have attempted to blend a sense of reality with everyday societal issues. Most of my work seems to gravitate towards life on the street. A life filled with texture and grit. An existence filled with dampness, cold, grime and shadows. I have conjured up scenes of homelessness, hopelessness, desperation, violence, frustration and isolation. These are things I see on the fringes of society. A moment in time, my perception, a slice of life. It is my hope to generate a cerebral response in the observer. Perhaps I can create a moment of fear, loathing, introspection, query or even empathy.

Landscapes Floral Works

In addition to the Street Series I am presenting my experiences with original landscape and floral imagery. I have attempted to translate with watercolor landscapes and floral images that I see as personally compelling. It is my hope that the observer finds my literal interpretations pleasing as well as engaging.
